About this study

Official title: Risk Evaluation by Coronary Imaging and Artificial Intelligence-Based Functional Analyzing Techniques: Plasma Proteomic Profiles of Atheroma Classified by Intracoronary Imaging.

This study is a single-center, prospective cohort study. The study is designed to identify novel circulating biomarkers for early prediction of high-risk coronary plaques. Patients diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) or non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), with marginal lesions or obstructive lesions in major coronary arteries detected by noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CCTA) or invasive coronary angiography (ICA), will be consecutively enrolled. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), with or without other intracoronary imaging modalities such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), will be performed. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), bioinformatic analysis, and machine learning methods will be performed to characterize plasma proteomic profiles. The cohort will be followed-up every 3 months for 2 years. The association of novel biomarkers with the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) will be examined.

This study is a single-center, prospective cohort study. The study is designed to identify novel circulating biomarkers for early prediction of high-risk plaques. Patients diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) or non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), with marginal lesions (diameter stenosis [DS] between 40%-69%) or obstructive lesions (DS ≥70% or CT-FFR/FFR <0.8) in major coronary arteries detected by noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CCTA) or invasive coronary angiography (ICA), will be consecutively enrolled. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), with or without other intracoronary imaging modalities including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), will be performed to precisely measure plaque burden and other geometric parameters.

Under the guidance of OCT, these plaques will be classified into different types (intimal xanthoma, early and late fibroatheroma, thin-cap fibroatheroma [TCFA], plaque rupture [PR], plaque erosion [PE], calcified nodules, healed lesions). If IVUS is additionally performed, total atheroma volume (TAV), percent atheroma volume (PAV), and remodeling index will be calculated. If NIRS is additionally performed, lipid core burden index (LCBI) will be calculated. Integrated analysis will also be performed to investigate the relationship between plaque characteristics obtained from different imaging modalities.

Afterwards, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), bioinformatic analysis, and machine learning methods will be performed to characterize plasma proteomic profiles in patients with different types of coronary atherosclerotic plaques. Differentially expressed proteins will be analyzed to identify novel biomarkers for high-risk plaques.

The cohort will be followed-up every 3 months for 2 years. The association of novel biomarkers with the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) will be examined.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT06793787
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cornary plaque analysis groupPatients with CCS or NSTE-ACS, who have marginal or obstructive lesions (DS 40% - 90%) detected by CCTA or ICA, will be consecutively enrolled. OCT, with or without other intracoronary imaging modalities including IVUS and NIRS, will be performed to classify plaque types and precisely measure plaque burden and other geometric parameters. Plasma samples will be collected on the day of angiography in all patients after overnight fasting.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prediction performance of high-risk plaques by novel biomarkers

    The prediction performance of high-risk plaques (area under receiver operating characteristics curve, etc.) by novel biomarkers will be compared with traditional risk factors.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Major cardiovascular events (MACEs)

    A composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and unplanned revascularization during follow-up. The prediction performance of MACEs by novel biomarkers and traditional risk factors will be compared.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Cardiovascular death

    The occurrence of cardiovascular death during follow-up. The prediction performance of cardiovascular death by novel biomarkers and traditional risk factors will be compared.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Myocardial infarction

    The occurrence of myocardial infarction during follow-up. The prediction performance of myocardial infarction by novel biomarkers and traditional risk factors will be compared.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Unplanned revascularization

    The occurrence of unplanned revascularization during follow-up. The prediction performance of novel biomarkers and traditional risk factors will be compared.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Coronary Atheroscleroses, run by Ruijin Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiao Qun Wang, M.D.,Ph.D. (+86 21 64370045 ext. 671605, xiaoqun_wang@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prediction performance of high-risk plaques by novel biomarkers (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2025.
